Love this restaurant! Staff is wonderful, food is always hot and delicious. Cheesecake is divine. I eat here every visit.

My only issue with this place is seating. Wish it could accomodate more or at least more larger parties.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

It is fairly easy to get a last minute reservation

Cons:

service

My daughter loved her sandwich. My grandson said it was the best hamburger he had the whole trip. Having said the sandwiches were good I have to say the fries were not so good. They were cold and seemed old.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

quiet, inside seating

Cons:

bad food, bad service

We visited the Plaza on a busy day in July during lunch. We had a reservation for 8. No one was in restaurant but, still had to wait. They made the seating for 7 instead of 8. Staff did not apologize, asked us to wait again and put us at 2 tables. Food took forever after we ordered. It tasted fine but, one hour after lunch I was violently ill. Chicken must have been under done. Service was slow and not friendly even though not busy. We will not eat here again nor recommend to anyone.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

good food

Cons:

server has our hometown attitude

The place is small, and you need reservations. The Host was excellent, and our food was good. We laughed because our server had an attitude associated with our home town, and once we saw her name tag, we laughed again she was from our hometown, so we understood, but being in Disney you should adapt. The place is cool, comfortable and relaxing.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

Great food and service

Cons:

Long wait to be seated

We've eaten at The Plaza Restaurant before, and this visit was even better. Our waitress was attentive and professional. I had the tuna sandwich and DS had a hamburger (I can't remember what DM ordered). We thought our dinner was great, then ordered hot fudge sundaes for dessert that was equally wonderful. We were seated next to a window, so we had a view of the castle that turned different colors during the electrical parade along with some fireworks that were spectacular. The only drawback to this restaurant was that we had to wait a half hour to be seated, but I can understand why since it's so popular. We will definitely dine at The Plaza again.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

Awesome view of the castle Wonderful food

Cons:

very small dining area, no place to wait indoors

I was spending a week in Walt Disney World and it was a very easy decision to make to dine here.

The Plaza is located in the Magic Kingdom park at the end of Main Street on a lightly traffic path between Main Street and The Tommorowland Terrace making it a hidden gem. It's location at the end of Main Street gives it a wonderful view of Cinderella Castle.

The seating area is very small and only hold around 100 guests. The menu is almost exclusively sandwiches, but don't let that make you think it isn't an amazing place to eat.

Before I even made the reservation, I knew exactly what I wanted to eat, having been here once before.

I started with the Tomato Bisque soup which was very rich and creamy and topped with croutons that added to the flavor and was an amazing start to the meal.

For the main course I went with the grilled Reuben which I had been craving for a year and a half. It did NOT disappoint. The sandwich consisted of perfectly cooked corned beef and sauerkraut between two slices of expertly toasted marble rye. I don't know know why it is so hard to find a good Reuben anywhere. This wasn't a good Reuben, it was a GREAT Reuben. Along with the sandwich came big, thick cut steak fries that complimented the Reuben perfectly.

For dessert I had what got me to come here for the first time way back when. The New York Style Cheesecake with Strawberries.

I am VERY particular about cheesecake. A Cheesecake Snob if you will. This is the best cheesecake I have ever had. Anyone who loves cheesecake needs to come here for the New York Style Cheesecake alone.

Also see if you can get a reservation around the Firework for an amazing view.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

inexpensive for a sit don mal

Cons:

looooooooong wait for our table

We had around a 35 minute wait for our table which I was not pleased with as there is nowhere in the air-conditioned cool to wait-we were basically just sitting on the wall outside in the heat giving the stink-eye to those inside to hurry up! However when we got in the meal made up for it. First of all we chose a milkshake and when our server, who was excellent, said we could have any ice cream flavours as a milk shake we both plumped for mint choc chip. OMG it was fantastic-we got a large glass full each plus nearly as much again in the jug. Plus when we had finished slurping it up the straw, we had about half a pound of chocolate chips in the bottom of the glass-talk about the gift that goes on giving! DH had the grilled chicken which he said was very tasty and juicy. I had the veggie sandwich which was delicious and such a change from endless burger type meals. Plus joy of joys, broccoli slaw, same as Columbia Harbour House put in the lighthouse sandwich. Gosh it was good! DH had the cheesecake to finish and it was big enough for two (some might have fallen into my mouth...)it was very nice and also made me regret having a tummy full of mint choc chip milk shake!

Cons:

Very disappointed in the Plaza this trip. My family and I have made it a tradition for the past 7-8 years to eat our first and last lunch there on every trip. On August 25th we did that as we arrived. The Turkey Sandwich was half the size as before and it came with 10 French fries. The plates are much smaller so you don't notice. My brother-in-law ordered a side of fries and it was only 12 fries for over $3.

We are looking to start a new tradition as this was so disappointing.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

View of the castle, parade, food, chef

Cons:

small menu

We had a party of 6 for lunch. A member of the party has a gluten allergy and the chef not only came to the table but discussed the allergy and recommended ways to prepare gluten free bread for better taste. He was amazing. The food was great; burgers and sandwiches. The kids loved the mickey ice cream that comes with the kids meal. Highly recommend for good food at a reasonable price. Great views!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

Food and view!

Cons:

Hostess was a little rude

I have always shyed away from this restaurant because I found the menu to be a bit "boring". However, during our last trip to the Magic Kingdom we were looking for a light meal and I'm so glad we decided to give this a try!

We got seated at a table right by the window looking out over to Cinderella's castle which was wonderful. I server was very sweet and accomodated all our special request (no cheese, extra cheese etc) with a smile.

The cheese steak was really good as was the vegetarian sandwich. I thought the fries were really good and the homemade chips were great!

We were too full for dessert but one of the kids got strawberry ice cream which I tasted and it was very good quality.

The prices were very reasonable, the portions were good and I'd pick this over a quick service any day!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

great food, nice sit down & small, great view of castle

Cons:

sometimes loud, but not overwhelming

Though I said it's sometimes loud, that's only because it is a smaller venue and you need a reservation. We love this place and it's always a great option if we need to rest our legs and take in a good meal. Though the menu is smaller, it has plenty of choices and I would recommend any of the sandwiches and add on the tomato basil soup, it is some of the best I've had! Great options for kids as well.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

View of the castle, location

Cons:

rushed service, limited menu

We had dinner here on Wednesday, April 10th. Ordered club sandwiches and the tuna on croissant with homemade chips. The club sandwiches were very tasty, with perfectly toasted bread. The tuna salad left much to be desired, being very dry and bland. With some additional mayo and salt, it was ok. The chips are probably usually very good but the night we had them, they were cold, stiff and a bit stale. Server was obviously very busy, not much time for pleasantry but food came out timely and correct. We had a table with a very nice view of the castle, which added much magic to our meal. We will definitely visit this quaint spot again.
